JUNO BEACH, FL (April 29, 2017) - Doug Hanzel has won the George L. Coleman Senior Invitational in wire-to-wire fashion. After sharing the lead following day one at Seminole Golf Club, Hanzel took the lead alone in the second round and then closed the deal with an even-par 72 to finish 2-under. Hanzel started the final round slowly but an eagle on the par-5 8th played a big role in his victory.

The win for Hanzel, the top-ranked player in the AmateurGolf.com Senior Rankings, is already his third point winning victory of the year. Hanzel had previously won the Florida Azalea Senior and Golfweek POY Classic/Natl Championship.

Defending champion Tim Jackson fired the round of the tournament with a 5-under 67 to surge to 1-under and a second place finish. Playing in the group ahead of Hanzel, Jackson birdied the closing hole to provide some late pressure.

First round co-leader Brady Exber placed third at 1-over while Matt Sughrue and Alan Fadel shared fourth at 4-over.

With his tied for fourth showing Fadel earned the Barend van Gerbig Trophy awarded to the low Seminole Golf Club member.
